Okay, correct me if I am wrong here, but from what I understand Assange doesn't want to enter Sweden because the next step, regardless of the outcome in Sweden, is extradition to the US.

So, yes, he is fleeing the US courts and I don't blame him.

It really doesn't help your case when the leader of your own country has named your actions as criminal before your day in court. However, if that does happen you can always sue for defamation.

Assange's best bet right now is for Gillard to be dumped by the ALP or voted out in 2013.

So, what it means is that you can now no longer trust reviews in the Google app store. The reviews are skewed in that only google plus users can submit reviews, making the review information worth much less.

It's a pity, because the review system in the google android market was quite good.

Now that sanity and logical thought have prevailed, let's dive into paranoia.
Is this just another attempt at a land grab by Google to increase G+ numbers?

I don't have a google plus account. I don't want one. I don't need one.

So this is just like the Office addons then. Good to see human ingenuity overcoming human stupidity

.. you just need Teracopy

http://www.teracopy.com/

It's free, replaces the windows default copy/paste, allows you to retry copying anything which failed to copy the first time (useful when a virus scanner product blocks a single file copy in the middle of 5000 files being copied), and Just Works.

How else do you copy thousands of files, or very large files, on Windows?

I used to wonder why Microsoft doesn't just buy them out and incorporate their product. Now I no longer care.

Perhaps someone who knows can advise if Windows 8 finally can copy files in a decent manner.

Hope Hubris - Bio of a Space Tyrant

.. and I am sure he will sell Mars for Billions, or Trillions if he can find a serious buyer, once it is all set up and running.. just like Virgin Mobile..

Oh come on
Just declare in a newspaper somewhere that we are certain that there is gold on Mars and humans will be over there in any which way possible.

If that means that some government on the planet who does not have an aversion to strapping a nuclear reactor to several thousand tonnes of fuel and launching it into space to become the core energy generation system for our planet's interplanetary bus.. then it will happen.

Gold, I tell you, gold. Trust human nature to bypass all problems and concentrate on getting there and back. Greed and stupidity can solve just about any problem, in the same way that a hammer can solve just about any problem..

He has his hand.

If he gets bored, he has his other hand.

Worst comes to worst it is quite likely that the spacecraft will be packed with computer equipment and will have several TB of data containing books, games, videos and for the worst case scenario where someone is BORED there most likely will be a facility where he can go code or do actual work like scientific experiments.

Bored? No.
Go completely nuts? Sure

Where do I sign up?

Thanks for the imagery.

My first thought was 'So thankful that humans and trees don't produce viable offspring' which lead to 'I wonder if referencing humans who mate with vegetables is appropriate here'.. leading to ..well.. 'anything'.

... that humans will have sex with anything..

One for each type!

I am currently halfway through Secret of Mana
It's quite relaxing to play through taking advantage of game mechanics to avoid unessential or boring grinding and enjoy the game play
